New exhibits and fun events at the DCM

We are closed this week as we build an even better Children's Museum, but I wanted to tell you what's in store for you when we re-open on September 13. We are adding two new exhibits this week: Zookeepers Place and Silverbolt Grocery Store. These special permanent exhibits will allow our young visitors to explore the world through the different jobs found in zoos or grocery stores.

Zookeepers Place-Visitors will be able to take on the role of a zookeeper and feed the animals or as a veterinarian and make the animals feel better by looking at x-rays, bandaging up any boo-boos on the animals or just hugging the stuffing out of them. Children will learn the zoo is a place where all kinds of wild animals are kept and taken care of.

Silverbolt Grocery Store-Join the fun in this interactive grocery store. Kids will be able to shop for food, be a cashier, bag it up, and even restock it again.

We are looking forward to starting this new school year. Check out the website for our latest Saturdays are Special at the DCM as well as our HomeSchool Days.
